Re: Hotmail and the Bat?

Hi there ,

 I can't see one, but is there a way as in Outlook Express to
 download mail from a Hotmail account into The Bat?

P If Hotmail gives you a POP server that you can log onto, then you can.
Hotmail does not offer POP3 email checking from your favorite email
program such as TB!. In essence, if you do not utilize a 3rd party
program such as Web2Pop to access Hotmail's web-based email via POP3
from your email program, you must access your email via the Web.
Hotmail does, however, have the option for you to POP3 check your OTHER
email accounts, if you wish it to do so. But: you must still access
the mail via the Web.

P I have Yahoo accounts with which I both receive and send email with
P TB, but Yahoo is more open about such things than MSFT.
Yahoo is one of a few good email services which DOES allow for POP3
checking with your favorite email program. In TB! Archives, there are
several email threads discussing this in which quite a few web-based
email programs offer POP3 accessibility.

Ciao for now,
~~~Angel

I think not. You can use some utilities tp work with Hotmail account:

Web2Pop

Shareware

POP3HOT 1.3a

Freeware

As far as downloading Hotmail email with TB!, yes, you can using
Web2Pop. Setup is easy and it works great. I have been using it for a
while now.  http://www.jmasoftware.com

To clarify, OE doesn't download Hotmail...it synchronizes with
what is on the Hotmail servers. With Web2Pop, it actually DOWNLOADS it
and, TB! can be set up to delete messages on the server thereby
eliminating Hotmail contacting you with the annoying: Your account size
is too large. OE just coordinates with what is on the server so it is not
actually downloading it. Another reason I couldn't stand using it
just to read Hotmail. lol

Just be forewarned that any HTML emails received at your Hotmail account
and downloaded using TB!/W2P will not show HTML graphic unless they are
sent WITH the email.. or something like that. (ie: HTML format email
will not show graphics). Maybe someone else here can clarify; it's been
so long since I have attempted to explain that ;)

Anyways, good luck with W2P. It is tops as far as I am concerned,
making web-based email POP3 retrievable with your favourite email
clientin my case, TB!. :)

I think this depends on MSFT rather than anything RIT Labs might do.

Have you looked at GMX to provide webmail? IMHO far superior to Hotmail
and you can access it securely using TB! www.gmx.com then choose your
language from the multi-lingual drop-down box.
